Summer Internship in Bolivia - Helping young entrepreneurs
June 10, 2009 - 09:44 AM

Teach a Man to Fish is currently seeking volunteers to assist in our latest Self-Sufficient School project in Southern Bolivia.
This role will particularly appeal to volunteers who want to gain a fantastic on-the-ground experience of international development while immersed in a Spanish-speaking environment. This is also a great chance to build up your skills and CV while supporting an international development charity to make education available to some of the world's poorest children.
Please note that even though the advert title requests financial planning skills, this is not a mandatory requirement. This position is versatile, and involves various roles - helping the school manage and develop its rural businesses, contributing to teaching and sports coaching activities (optional). Ideally, you should have an interest in business, agriculture, teaching or sports as the project mainly revolves around these areas. An intermediate fluency in Spanish would be required, however - as none of the local residents speak English. If you are not confident of your language skills, there is an option to enrol in Spanish language classes in Santa Cruz before the project begins.
The project start dates are not fixed, so that we can take our volunteers available periods into consideration. Even if you are interested and the 30th of June doesn't suit you, do get in touch and we can consider accommodating your start dates.
The role is self-funded and lasts for 12 – 16 weeks.
You can download a full programme information pack from : http://www.teachamantofish.org.uk/resources/CEAA_Bolivia_Volunteer_Info_Pack.pdf
If you're interested, just e-mail volunteer@teachamantofish.org.uk with "Bolivia Intern TIG" in the subject line, and we will send you an application pack.
